Podcasts about ASO

Join the show live every Thursday for a conversation you can't find anywhere else: https://grow.payrollinpodcast.com/ Your payroll clients keep asking for HR support. But when does adding an ASO become a smart growth move instead of an expensive distraction? In this episode of the Payroll Growth Show, Matt Vaadi shares lessons from 12 years of building and evolving an ASO. He explains why 250 payroll clients may be the ideal starting point, how a 10% to 20% attachment rate changes the math, and why smaller ASO accounts can consume more resources than expected. You'll learn: How to know when your payroll company is ready for an ASO The technology and people required to support it What your ASO should include and where to draw the line Why scope creep can quickly drain your team How to structure ASO pricing and monthly minimums Why Matt increased his minimum from $500 to $1,000 The risks of offering recruiting and benefits administration Why HR services work better when connected to payroll How a 60-question HR audit improves client onboarding If you're considering adding HR services, expanding beyond payroll, or building a more scalable ASO model, this episode will help you understand what to put in place before you launch. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 The Payroll Sales Habit I Finally Broke 01:13 Why Selling Season Starts Now 02:04 Don't Sell Everything to Everyone 02:50 The "Big Domino" That Closes More Deals 05:10 Stop Fighting ADP on Their Terms 05:50 The ELF Framework Explained 07:43 Why We Ignore Most Prospects 07:46 How We Narrow 50,000 Contacts to 400 09:00 My Favorite Low-Pressure Sales Call 10:40 Warm Prospects Before You Pitch 11:45 August Is When January Deals Are Won12:23 Engineer Your Selling Season 12:48 Final Thoughts Weekly strategies for scaling your payroll bureau (1,000+ leaders subscribed) → https://www.payrollinpodcast.com/

In this episode, we're talking about app store visibility - and about the fact that organic and paid aren't two separate budgets. Every channel you run, no matter where it starts, ends up on the same product page. And the platforms are watching what happens there. To cover all this, we've got Stephanie Ino, Client Services Manager at Gummicube, about how ASO and paid search feed each other on the App Store and Google Play. Stephanie explains why ASO is the home base every channel returns to, how Apple Ads and Google Ads send relevance signals back into the organic algorithm, and why the right split between the two depends on budget, app maturity, and how much relevance you've already built. She also covers Custom Product Pages and Custom Store Listings as a way to align paid traffic with the right creative, and why a younger app should build its ASO foundation before pushing paid spend through. If you work in app store optimization, user acquisition, or app growth, this is a clear look at how the paid and organic sides of the store actually connect. Today's topics include: ASO as home base - metadata and creative work together because almost every channel routes users back to the product page or store listing Paid feeding organic - Apple Ads SERP placements and Google Ads Play Store placements both send relevance signals into the algorithm for the terms you're targeting Striking the balance - there's no blanket answer, it comes down to available budget, app size, and maturity in the storefront Younger apps first build relevance - get the ASO foundation and keyword rankings in place, then push paid traffic through at a lower acquisition cost Custom Product Pages and Custom Store Listings - matching store assets to each paid campaign's strategy so the traffic you buy actually converts Links and Resources: Stephanie Ino on LinkedIn Gummicube website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Stephanie Ino “ASO is where everything comes back to, kind of home base. Most of any channel will come back into that product page or that store listing.” "When we're running Apple Ads, particularly for those SERP results, it gives that boost in relevance so that Apple understands that we have better potential to then rank organically for those terms." “If we're working with a younger app in the storefront, we don't have that relevance built out yet within the algorithm. So we really want to focus on our organic and our ASO performance first.” Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012

PMPM vs FFS—The Perverse Incentives Plan Sponsors Sometimes Miss, With Cristin Dickerson, MD (EP525) Four Questions Plan Sponsors Should Ask Before Choosing PMPM or Fee-for-Service. Episode 525. This episode is a tangent that never made it into the final cut of Stacey Richter's original conversation with Cristin Dickerson, MD, founding partner of Green Imaging, a physician-led radiology network built on direct contracting for imaging. In episode 485, they discussed how imaging can run 6% to 11% of total plan sponsor spend and how direct contracting brings that down while improving access; this outtake is where they got into the harder question underneath it — whether PMPM (per member per month) capitated payments create their own new perverse incentives, potentially just as strange as the old-fashioned fee-for-service kind, depending on who's holding the risk and why. It's a natural follow-on to last week's conversation with John Quinn (EP524) on buying healthcare like a supply chain of defined "pods of care." WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ Why Dr. Dickerson says fee-for-service can reduce perverse incentives compared with a PMPM subscription — Green Imaging charges no PEPM or admin fees and takes on the risk that its services simply won't be used ✅ How radiologist protocols and appropriateness guidelines let Green Imaging cut unnecessary imaging — switching a CT to an MRI, or skipping unneeded contrast — while showing 60% to 90% documented savings for employers ✅ Why not being the referring physician removes Green Imaging's financial incentive to drive up volume, which Stacey Richter identifies as the real test of whether a fee-for-service model has mitigated its own perverse incentive ✅ The four factors Stacey Richter says plan sponsors should weigh before choosing fee-for-service over PMPM: price beats the base network, the vendor (not the plan) drives its own volume and is auditable, the contract allows termination at will, and the plan's ASO contract actually permits carving out or steering to a high-value provider ✅ Why Stacey Richter argues there isn't just one "fee-for-service" — pricing you can see and verify against what you're billed is a fundamentally different model than a discount-based fee-for-service that hides the real price and can add 20% or more in revenue-cycle "hot potato" costs ✅ How this conversation builds on John Quinn's supply-chain framing from EP524: treating a bounded, clearly defined "pod of care" as something to procure competitively, regardless of which payment model is attached to it WHY THIS MATTERS Value-based care is often framed as the fix for fee-for-service's volume-driving perverse incentives, but a PMPM subscription simply moves the risk instead of eliminating it — the purchaser now pays whether or not the service is used, and different accountability failures can follow. Dr. Dickerson's model works not just because it's fee-for-service, but because it's fee-for-service structured so the vendor can't drive volume, the pricing is transparent, and the contract can be ended at any time. For self-insured employers and plan sponsors choosing how to pay for a defined pod of care, the payment model matters less than these underlying safeguards.

In episode 385 of The Physical Performance Show, host Brad Beer sits down with fellow physiotherapist Lewis Craig for a lateral ankle sprain masterclass. Drawing on material the pair recently presented at a Gold Coast orthopedic evening, Brad and Lewis cover the burden and prevalence of lateral ankle sprains, the three-part clinical assessment process, key differential diagnoses, rehabilitation phases, and preventative strategies including bracing and taping. The episode explores why lateral ankle sprains — despite their reputation as a minor injury — carry a significant risk of chronic ankle instability, and why a thorough, structured assessment is essential to a smooth recovery. Brad and Lewis unpack the different ligament and tendon structures that can be involved, the red flags practitioners need to rule out, the impairment categories drawn from Jay Hertel's model of chronic ankle instability, and how rehabilitation should progress from protection through to return to sport and long-term prevention.

"Four out of ten people who have an ankle sprain go on to develop a chronic instability." "The better quality of the assessment, the more likely there's an accurate diagnosis." "It's really hard to sprain your ankle when it's really well strapped or with an appropriate brace." "Once someone gets running... you can run in a straight line really well and have really considerable deficits still." "Get it assessed.

John Quinn, founder and CEO of Wellnecity, joins Stacey Richter for an outtake from their conversation last fall on rethinking how self-insured employers build their provider networks. Rather than treating the network as one big, undifferentiated system, Quinn argues employers should think like a manufacturing supply chain: break healthcare into defined "subassemblies," or pods of care — pediatric care, a cancer journey, a kidney stone episode — and direct-contract for those pods whenever the price beats the fee-for-service average. If the boundaries of the pod are clear and the price comes in lower, Quinn says, the plan and the member both win, quality being equal. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ Why Stacey Richter says the provider-network debate could fill "a 20-hour show," and why networks still have real upsides — administrative infrastructure, claims coordination, guaranteed provider payment, and broad access — even as critics like Mark Cuban ask on LinkedIn, "Why do we need networks? It is just a way for insurers to play pricing games." ✅ A real example of network rigidity: a self-insured employer identified 40 physicians who cost the plan upwards of $15 million in a single plan year while patient harm was occurring, and their ASO couldn't figure out how to remove those doctors from network under the existing contract structure ✅ How John Quinn defines a "subassembly" or "pod of care" — a bounded, definable episode like pediatric care or a cancer journey — and why purchasing that pod for less than the fee-for-service average is a win for the plan and member, assuming quality stays neutral ✅ Quinn's kidney stone example: a physician who says he can now treat a kidney stone in a 48-hour to five-day episode for roughly $2,000 to $3,000, versus the typical six weeks of pain, overuse of pain medication, and a price north of $10,000 ✅ Why Quinn frames network optimization as a manufacturing supply-chain problem — the same way an automobile gets built from subassemblies sourced from specialized providers around the globe — because it's a mental model CFOs and senior leadership at self-insured employers already trust ✅ Quinn's bottom line: "We have the tech and we've got the tools to do this at this point. We just have to get ourselves out of" the fee-for-service hangover WHY THIS MATTERS Provider networks have real tradeoffs: broad access and guaranteed payment on one side, opaque pricing and rigid contracts on the other. John Quinn's pitch to self-insured employers isn't to blow up the network model, but to layer bounded, directly contracted "pods of care" on top of it wherever a clear price beats the fee-for-service average. Framing that as supply-chain sourcing, rather than a wholesale network overhaul, gives risk-averse finance and HR leaders a model they already understand — and, Quinn argues, the technology to act on it already exists.

Aos poucos, a receita recorrente transforma objetos em serviços e o consumidor descobre que pagou para ter algo que continua pertencendo, em parte, a quem vendeu. Host: Luciano Pires - @lucianopires – lucianopires.com.br Takeaways • A palavra “comprar” perdeu parte de seu significado quando o acesso ao produto continua condicionado a contratos, servidores e decisões do fabricante. • A receita recorrente incentiva empresas a transformar funções já instaladas em cobranças permanentes, mesmo quando não existe uma nova entrega ao consumidor. • O principal custo desse modelo não está apenas nas mensalidades, mas na perda de controle sobre objetos que permanecem fisicamente com seus proprietários.

The Tour de France reached Paris yesterday with a final stage that once again delivered far more than the traditional procession and sprint. ASO deserves enormous credit for reimagining the finale, using the Montmartre circuit to create genuine tension, spectacular crowds and an unpredictable race. However, the decision to freeze the general classification with roughly 41 kilometres remaining effectively created an artificial “finish line” long before the Champs-Élysées.

On today's episode, Yaron Werber, John Maraganore, Sam Fazeli, and Matt Gline open with a discussion of biotech market volatility, with Matt noting that it often seems driven more by opaque factor dynamics than company-specific fundamentals. The group then turns to Eli Lilly's continued “Amazonification” and reinventing the pharma business as it acquires a variety of different companies, including this week's $2.8B upfront acquisition of Atai Beckley, a psychedelic-focused company. The conversation turns to BioCentury's reporting on Asia-to-West NewCos, prompting a debate about whether China is uniquely changing the market or simply reflects broader shifts in cheaper, faster development. On policy, the group covers BIO's response to the OMB proposal that could inject political review into federal grant decisions. The co-hosts also debate Kalshi's move to create prediction markets around clinical trial and regulatory outcomes. On pipeline updates, the group discusses Merck's approval of Lipfendra, the first oral PCSK9 drug, and the broader class implications. In CNS, Biogen and Ionis' diranersen tau ASO data spark a discussion of aconfusing dose response, ASO tolerability, tau as a target in Alzheimer's disease, and the promise of alternative modalities from Arrowhead and Alnylam. The episode closes with M&A and financing, including AstraZeneca's licensing deal with Dizal for the EGFR exon 20 inhibitor sunvozertinib andErasca's RAF data plus its $500M financing, which Sam views as a strong market signal despite a volatile biotech backdrop. This episode aired on July 17, 2026.

Yevhen Tarasenko, CMO and co-founder of Apptonomy, joins Apptivate to discuss how app store optimization is evolving in the age of AI. After more than a decade in ASO, Yevhen shares how the discipline has changed from a keyword-focused practice into a broader challenge of app discoverability across app stores, search engines, Reddit, and large language models. The conversation explores the limitations of traditional ASO workflows, how AI is changing the way marketers analyze visibility, and why app teams need to think beyond rankings and metadata to succeed in a world increasingly shaped by AI recommendations and automated discovery. Questions addressed in this episode How did Yevhen get started in ASO? Why is app store optimization still so manual? What inspired the creation of Apptonomy? How can AI automate parts of the ASO workflow? What is AI discoverability and why does it matter? How are large language models changing app discovery? Why is Reddit becoming increasingly important for app visibility? What were the biggest AI and ASO themes at MAU Vegas? How should app marketers prepare for AI-driven search and discovery? What advice would Yevhen give someone entering ASO today?

Now we're using Claude, next month we're using ChatGPT or something else, and the quality standards with AI are not quite there.” (8:21) “ASO, even in 2026, is still very manual and boring, and people are tired of doing the same thing all over again.” (18:28) “AI will not replace ASO anytime soon. The human touch will be needed for at least 3-5 years.” Mentioned in this episode Yevhan on Linkedin Apptonomy

Let's be honest — nobody wakes up in the morning excited to open your app. Well, some people may but definitely not all of them! And in 2026, the CRM teams that win aren't the ones sending more messages. They're the ones who know exactly who to reach, on which channel, at which moment — and when to say nothing at all. In this special episode, we're bringing you the Business of Apps London 2026 panel 2026 CRM Trends: The Ultimate Guide to Customer Retention. It's a candid look at what retention really takes right now — from LLMs quietly rewriting app discovery to why downloads have become a vanity metric — told by three people running lifecycle for some of the UK's most recognizable brands: Francesca Stringer of Sky Jill Angus of Aviva Isabelle von Matuschka of Studio LTV The panel's topics include: AI is rewriting app discovery — consumers are outsourcing decisions to LLMs instead of browsing the App Store, downloads are becoming a vanity metric, and Sky is now prioritizing GEO over SEO. Personalization is moving upstream — it's no longer about tailoring the message but about arbitration and orchestration: deciding who gets a message, on which channel, at what moment, and whether they need one at all. Product and marketing are now a joint venture — siloed teams can't win retention anymore; feedback loops, shared data, and embedded partnerships are the new operating model. CRM starts long before the email — ASO, custom product cards, and seeding the app into above-the-line campaigns and brand experiences (the M&S playbook) are the underused retention levers. Trust is fragile — and the hot takes — trust dies by a thousand micro-cuts (irrelevant pushes, broken links); community is overrated as a retention silver bullet; and CRM must stop being email-led.

The ASO vs. TPA Decision That Quietly Costs Self-Funded Employers More What's the real difference between an ASO and a TPA — and why does it matter that self-insured employers working with an ASO pay, by one referenced estimate, about 4.7% more than the insured book of business for the same care? In this Ask Me Anything, Stacey Richter puts a listener question from Dr. Alex Sommers, MD, ABEM, DipABLM, president of Astia Health, to Claire Brockbank, newly appointed director of the 32BJ Health Fund, who breaks down how ASO and TPA models diverge on ownership, networks, and incentives.  WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ How an ASO (administrative services only) arrangement differs structurally from a TPA (third-party administrator) — in Claire Brockbank's words, an ASO is essentially "a TPA that's owned by one of the big insurance carriers" ✅ Why bringing your own network, doing carve-outs, or direct contracting is typically much easier with a TPA than with an ASO, since an ASO's network comes bundled in ✅ How ASO incentive structures can lead carriers to charge self-funded employers more to offset thinner margins on their insured book — and why a study referenced by Luke Prettol found self-insured ASO clients pay roughly 4.7% more on average ✅ Why many TPAs, as newer market entrants built around technology, can move faster on things like claims-audit integrations than legacy carrier systems that can take up to 18 months to implement changes ✅ A real-world example of how network rigidity under an ASO made it difficult for one employer to remove 40 identified unsafe physicians from its network ✅ Why reading a TPA contract carefully still matters, since aligned incentives are a structural possibility with a TPA, not a guarantee WHY THIS MATTERS ASO and TPA are routinely used interchangeably across the industry, but as Claire Brockbank lays out, the distinction isn't just terminology — it's what determines how much actual control a self-funded employer has over its own health plan. An ASO bundles in the carrier's network and legacy systems, often with built-in incentive misalignments that can show up as higher costs than the insured book of business pays. A TPA leaves more room to bring your own network, negotiate direct contracts, and move quickly when something needs to change. For any plan sponsor sorting out vendor options, knowing which model is actually on the table is foundational to getting the rights, rates, and flexibility they're after.

Most app founders think growth is limited by creatives, ASO, or ad performance.But there's another problem that quietly kills scale: cash flow.In this video, I break down the biggest bottleneck many indie app developers face when scaling with Apple Search Ads, Meta Ads, or any paid acquisition channel, and why waiting 45+ days for Apple and Google payouts can prevent you from growing faster.You'll Learn:✅ Why profitable apps still run out of cash✅ A real example from our own app portfolio✅ How spending $9,000 generated over $10,800 in proceeds✅ Why many large apps operate with thin margins✅ How to reinvest revenue faster instead of waiting for monthly payouts✅ How Adapt Finance helps subscription apps unlock cash flow weekly✅ A case study of a developer scaling from $5K to $80K in revenueIf you're building a subscription app and trying to scale with paid acquisition, understanding cash flow may be even more important than finding the next winning ad creative.

Join the show live every Thursday for a conversation you can't find anywhere else: https://grow.payrollinpodcast.com/ Are you spending too much time chasing new payroll clients while ignoring the revenue already sitting in your client base? Most payroll providers focus heavily on new sales, but the data tells a different story. ADP expects roughly 50% of its new revenue to come from existing customers, and when they expand a payroll client into HR, ASO, or PEO services, the lifetime value can increase dramatically. In this episode of The Payroll Growth Show, Matt Vaadi breaks down how payroll companies can generate more revenue, improve retention, and create deeper client relationships without increasing their marketing budget. You'll learn: • Why existing clients may be your biggest growth opportunity • How to identify "white space" opportunities in your client base • A simple framework for payroll, HR, benefits, workers' comp, and time-tracking upsells • How quarterly business reviews (QBRs) can drive revenue growth • Ways to use AI to uncover buying signals and retention risks • Common mistakes payroll firms make when expanding services • Practical strategies you can implement immediately Whether you're an independent payroll bureau, PEO, CPA firm, HR provider, or payroll sales leader, this episode offers actionable ideas for increasing client lifetime value and growing revenue from the customers you already serve. ⏰ *TIMESTAMPS:* 0:00 Why ADP Gets 50% of Revenue from Existing Clients 2:02 The Growth Grid Explained 4:31 Finding Hidden Revenue in Your Client Base 6:06 The Simple Upsell Conversation Framework 6:57 The ADP Playbook: $450K from 180 Accounts 9:48 Using AI to Find Buying Signals 12:26 Quarterly Business Reviews That Drive Growth 14:40 Predicting Client Churn with AI 15:39 One-to-Many Upsell Strategies 18:02 The 50/50 Growth Model for Payroll Companies

How does an ASO specialist with 10+ years of experience think about AI visibility in 2026?In this episode of Intelligent Artifice, Simon Thillay from AppTweak shares what the data actually shows about how AI tools like ChatGPT are discovering and recommending apps today. ChatGPT owns the platform. Grammarly is outranking it inside its own answers. Simon knows exactly why.This conversation covers what is actually changing in app store optimization, how AI visibility works differently from traditional ASO, and why the gap between apps that show up in AI-generated answers and those that don't is already opening up.AppTweak's research found that the most cited domain in ChatGPT answers for app-related queries is the App Store itself. Simon's team tested the same intent across ten different phrasings and found Grammarly consistently outranking ChatGPT for business writing app recommendations inside ChatGPT. The difference was not product quality. It was how Grammarly positioned itself for specific user contexts across its app store presence.Simon also points to one specific part of the App Store listing that most ASO teams have never touched, and explains why it is now one of the strongest levers for AI visibility in 2026.Video Chapters:00:00 – Introduction & Podcast Technical Mishaps 00:46 – How AI is Changing App Store Visibility 01:42 – Pre-searching Apps via LLMs (ChatGPT Traffic) 02:14 – The Role of App Store Optimization (ASO) in AI Answers 02:40 – Optimizing Long Descriptions for AI Search 03:19 – Writing for Humans vs. Writing for AI (User Personas) 04:08 – Structuring Content & Entity-Based Writing for AI 05:07 – Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) & The Open Web Ecosystem 06:26 – How to Audit Your App's AI Visibility (Intent vs. Prompts) 07:11 – Case Study: Grammarly Outperforming ChatGPT on Niche Intents 07:54 – Measuring AEO Impact: Coverage, Rank, and Sentiment 09:02 – Where to Find Simon ThillayTopics covered:App Store optimization and AI visibility in 2026How ChatGPT and LLMs discover and recommend appsAEO strategy for mobile appsEntity-based writing for app store listingsMeasuring AI visibility across coverage, rank, and sentimentAppTweak research on AI-driven app discoveryLearn more: https://mobileuseracquisitionshow.com/episode/aso-for-ai-simon-thillay/- Episode pagehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-thillay-58b95997/- Connect with Simon on LinkedIn

I came up with at least one way to tell the difference between making a fair profit and profiteering. If someone makes more money when the patients or members they serve are worse off, yeah, call that profiteering. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. For more on what is fair profit versus what is profiteering, I would recommend you go back and listen to the episodes on mission and margin with Ben Schwartz, MD, MBA (EP481) and then with Mick Connors, MD (EP495). But it's probably not an accident that I have started an episode about Medicare Advantage in this fashion. To this end, I am very much looking forward to hearing what's up with Medicare Advantage from the one and only Betsy Seals, who is back for her third appearance on Relentless Health Value. And her advice in a nutshell is this: Don't profiteer. There are ample ways to make a fair profit. Just go back to basics and do it the right way. I wanna kind of tick through the list of things that I think about when I think about Medicare Advantage and just how it is relevant to absolutely everybody. The first thing I think about when I think about Medicare Advantage—and this is very obvious—is what Medicare Advantage plans do or don't do are our tax dollars at work or not at work, as the case may be. Along these same lines, the second thing: How does this impact our elders, our family, our friends, our grandparents? These are our senior citizens, getting the care or not getting the care that they may need. Those two are obvious. Now let's talk about a few less obvious things. Here's the third point that I think about as I listen to conversations about Medicare Advantage: cost shifting. Right? It is a well-known fact how big, vertically integrated carriers—and when I say big, vertically integrated carriers, I mean ones that have a Medicare Advantage line of business—when negotiating with big, consolidated health systems, the release valve of those negotiations is commercial rates. These are the rates that the self-insured employers are paying. So, the carrier says, "Look, gimme the best Medicare Advantage rates. I want the best Medicare Advantage rates because I, the carrier, am paying for those." Savings from those lower rates accrues to the Medicare Advantage plan and its shareholders or investors or executives, right? So, the carrier with the Medicare Advantage plan is like, "Look, go as low as we can go on the Medicare Advantage rates, but it's okay, health system, if you make up the difference with the ASO commercial book of business." Because right … ASO means administrative services only. It's not the carrier who's paying those commercial rates at the end of the day. So, the carrier uses its full book of business to negotiate lower rates for itself while, at the same time, cost shifting to commercial members. In fact, there was some research that was cited. It was episode 436 with Elizabeth Mitchell, and I quoted Luke Prettol. But there was research that puts this markup at 4.7% above what employers would otherwise pay if they had an ASO that did not have a Medicare Advantage Plan. So, yeah … number three big thing that I think about when listening to MA insights like the ones that Betsy drops today, I think about will this accelerate or ameliorate or really have anything to do with what is going on around those negotiating tables with ASOs and health systems? Because let's not forget, health systems account for about 50% of most self-insured employers' total health spend. The fourth thing that I think about: Will MA carriers underpay independent practices, especially primary care practices? Will it pay indies less? And then if it pays 'em a lot less, would ultimately manage to put them out of business, ultimately raising the total cost of care for everybody. But if we're thinking about this strictly from Medicare Advantage financial perspective, a really great move here, these are big, vertically integrated companies, don't forget. Many of them own provider organizations. This is why the FTC tends to frown on vertical integration. So, will these Medicare Advantage organizations who own provider organizations pay the provider organizations they own more? By the way, it's the same thing that's going on on the pharmacy side of the house when a PBM pays pharmacies that they own more. Here's a LinkedIn post by Stanley Warren about this topic. And there are a lot of obvious, maybe less obvious reasons for why paying providers the carrier itself owns more is a great short-term move. One of them is intracompany eliminations. Listen to the episode with Preston Alexander (EP482). But here's another reason: Rate increases paid by the government for Medicare Advantage plans are based on fee-for-service benchmarks. So, if fee-for-service rates go up, then the Medicare Advantage plans can negotiate more money for themselves. If the MA plans own the providers that are charging said FFS rates, then this is, I don't know, a great strategy, especially given the lobbying budget that some of these entities have. So, look … on today's show, I get the distinct opportunity to speak with Betsy Seals, my guest today, as I mentioned earlier; and we go through her advice for MA plans and what they need to get busy with and ensure, make a fair profit, go back to basics, and do it the right way. That's her bottom-line advice. Don't be putting your hands in the cookie jar. Sooner or later, you're gonna get caught. Focus on the members that you're really good at serving. And lastly, when it comes to STARS or other quality measures, lift them the right way—like, actually through better member health and actually better member experience, not some engineered mechanism by which one can check a box that honestly doesn't deserve to get checked. Because now we're back to the beginning and you're gonna get caught with your hand in the cookie jar, and it's profiteering. Let's just get real about that. If somebody's checking boxes that they don't deserve to check, member health is not improving. Betsy Seals, my guest today, as I have said at least three times, co-founded Rebellis Group, which is a Medicare Advantage consultancy. She became CEO of its parent company, Alerion Advisors.

Three very different Paris-Roubaix debutants share their stories in this month's mini feature. We hear from long-time Classics stalwart Shirin Van Anrooij, youngest finisher Jente Koops and Alexis Magner who comes to the race after recovering from a life-threatening crash last season.Before that, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Lizzy Banks discuss their big take-aways from the cobbled classics and how the current rider injury list might shape the Ardennes Classics to come.We also delve into the decision by race organisers ASO to move the women's Paris-Roubaix from Saturday to a shared slot with the men on the Sunday. And explore in what ways the race's limited TV coverage could have wider ramifications for the sport.Also on the agenda: Lizzy's many goats, cyclist ribs on the barbecue and hold on, did Denny just quit?EPISODE SPONSORSailyIf you are travelling abroad and want to reduce or even eliminate roaming charges you need an eSim from Saily, brought to you by the creators of NordVPN.⛵Download the SAILY app and use our code cycling at checkout to get an exclusive 15% off your first purchase.
